Omg, how did I miss this? Okapis are the coolest! even cooler, considering that they were once considered legendary....THERE'S HOPE FOR CRYPTOZOOLOGY!!!
*ahem* Yeah, there needs to be some anthro reform on dA...speaking of Okapis, It'd be cool to see some giraffe anthro...maybe I'll just have to do that myself! hmmm....I don't think anyone's ever tried doing fish anthro...that could be interesting!

lol, well okapis are elusive creatures after all. 
Yay cryptozoology!
I'm sure you could do a lovely giraffe.

Ohhh, I'll have to check that out!
and btw, I searched Okapi on dA last night, and there was 709 results and several anthros, believe it or not!

Man, that's good to know! Someone ages ago (like last year, maybe longer than that) had stumbled across my gallery and lamented that there weren't more okapis. I'm so glad that has changed.

This is great! You're right - there aren't enough okapis around.
By the way, would you like to join ~Anthro-Hooves ? Just contact ~andalasur if you're interested!

I checked this pic because it looked like a Greyhound in the thumbnail.... xD *is a Greyhound freak*
But still great work, Okapis aren't often seen :3

lol, that's pretty funny. Greyhounds are cool dogs.
Thanks, HuskyKei

This is such a neat idea, Okapi (Okapis? Okapi? I have no idea) are such neat-looking animals. And these look absolutely great.
OKAPI POWER!

Hey, nice to meet you!
That brings my total of okapi artists here on deviant to like... 3? lol, we need to work on that.
Thanks for the fav, too.

Very nice coloring and shading on the stripes! The poses are great too.

Hey, thanks for checking my okapis out!
oh, btw, I always just thought it was pronounced oh-kap-ee. But I've never actually heard it spoken.

That's how I say it too. I guess it just varies from person to person.

Wow, these guys are the coolest! I've seen an okapi on 's page, but not anthro. They have such nifty markings and the pose you've drawn them in is very cute

Really? Thanks, I've been looking for any other okapi artists on here. I'll check wolfyu's work out.
Aw, thank you, Wolfdog.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen okapi anthros (but then again, I haven't been around the net very long, when I think about it ^.^) and they look great! Y'know... I bet that if you ever apply to Yerf... they'd like this. They might want a background or something... but this one is really freaking nifty.
Great job!

Sweet! I don't think anyone's ever called something of mine 'freaking nifty' before. Thanks Nash.
*shys away from backgrounds* I'm such a lazy wolf.
Do you really think this is Yerf quality? Wow. That's something I'd have to think about.
Many thanks.
Wolfsjäl

Actually, yeah, I could see this one on Yerf (But then again, i'm just another outsider looking in, when it comes to Yerf). I think that if you finished up the legs/defigned them more in the background a bit, and gave the characters an enviroment... it'd stand a chance in the yerf application process, especially since they're such unusual creatures. Yerf people seem to appreciate that sort of thing.
Lazy is better than not being able to do them very well. I skip out on backgrounds because I'm not that good at producing them.
Just my 2 cents.

okapi are one of my favorite creatures to look at when going to the zoo, but my favorite is the zebra. i guess that is why i like the okapi as well.
i love the fur. it looks just like velvet which is what their fur looks like in real life. excellent job.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You like all those fun stripey butt critters to, huh?
Thanks. I think I've gotten to a point with fur textures that I'm pretty happy with.

Um... what the hell is an 'Okapi'!?! ...don't worry, I just looked it up and I think I may have seen some at the Zoo ages ago... Yeah. Anyway, this piece looks so very peacefull. 
No.

lol, yeah, okapis really don't get the attention they deserve... just for being so damn cool looking. They're like zebra-horse-giraffes.
I should have drawn one of them with their tongue sticking out, heh. (they have really long tongues)
I guess I was just a bit late with the Valentine's day vibe.
Wolfsjäl

You could have drawn them giving each other the tongue!

hehe this is great! I love okapis
Did you know that if you pet an okapi, your hand will be stained brown by the oils in their fur?
-Red...knower of useless zoological facts
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I never knew that about the okapi's fur.
That is so cool!!
Okapis are my fave animals, I'm just loving everyone's appreciation of these creatures!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
*blinks* That... I did not know.
From wence dost thou acquire thy zoological knowledge, milady?
Don't ask where the heck that came from, cause I have no idea.
The stripes were fun, but the faces took for ever to get looking right. Okapis are odd looking in many ways. But I loves them too.
I actually ran into the only other okapi artist on here, at least so far. I wonder if there are more?
*pounces* Thanks, Red.
Wolfsjäl

LMAO
I think I saw it on tv once.
And I bet the faces are tricky! Such odd bone structure. Do any zoos in your area have them on display? They are great to see in real life
*thinks* I think either Michelle Light or Terrie Smith made an Okapi pic too. I get their art mixed up sometimes

Nah, the zoo in my city doesn't have a whole lot of anything interesting. I'm glad, in a way. I can't decide how I feel about zoos. I love being able to see animals that I wouldn't ever be able to in the wild, but I feel bad for them all the same.
Wow, another okapi pic somewhere out here! I should try and find it.

very gorgeous. Thanks to Solicit for faving this so I could find it (since us regulars get no freaking search option). Okapis are some of my favorite animals, along with all the exotics. Well done with the anatomy and shading.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you, otherblood.
I'm glad you were able to spot this in Solicit's deviant page in that case.
I always thought okapis were some damn cool animals. I remember trying to write a research paper on them in elementary school, so long ago...
I don't think there was a whole lot of info on them.
*stops rambling*

Me too! Hehe! Even on the internet there isn't much! It took me forever to find some reference pictures. ::shakes yer paw:: M'name's Nita.

Wow.. Very, very beautiful.. You're right, there isn't enough okapi anthro art. In fact this is the first I've ever seen. And you did a fantastic job. Wonderful job with the colors there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, solicit.
I really shouldn't have spent the time drawing these two (I've got a lot of school crud that needs to get done...) but how could I resist the lovely okapi couple? I could not.
